Chiropractor may help but also consider physical therapy. Have needed both for different problems.

In similar pain here..and I don't know what I did to hurt my back, but haven't moved much all weekend.
|
soak with empson salt.

I put a rice bag against my back that I keep in the freezer and boy did it ever help!! I feel 90% better today :-D :-D
|
Glad to hear that you feel better...take care, you don't need a repeat episode!

Are you feeling better today?

I have had good luck doing yoga (after a few weeks of physical therapy to start). I probably waited too long before I finally went to the dr. I walked into the PT with a limp and when I was through with the evaluation, I didn't limp anymore.
I don't really enjoy yoga like some people do, but it really has helped with both my back and my neck. Donna |
Feel better soon. Just getting over some back whatever I did to it. Ice is supposed to be best in the beginning and then heat. Sue

After a couple of days applying ice for abut 20 minutes at a time several times a day, then use the heat alternately with the ice. Gradually resume walking. Once you are recovered take up an exercise routine that strengthens you core. If you have a gym nearby employ the aid of a certified trainer who can teach you the moves. I can tell you from my own experience that's the long term secret to avoiding the hassle of such spasms.
